Hatton trainer blasts Warren

I think Hatton has avioded Witter for so long in hope that Witter would lose (since the Judah fight), Witter though hasn't lost, a defeat in any stage of Hatton's career was going to get Witter a lot closer, I think British demand will make the fight happen cause I cant see Witter losing any point in the near future.

 

This is ridiculous, scurla in one sentence you have a go at Hatton for fighting Oliveira and Philips, and yet in the next sentence you called corley and harris Witter's toughest tests!!

Double standard?

newsflash, Vince Philips at 39 would've kicked the **** out of Harris AND Corley. Ray Oliveira was well past his best but he was a better fighter than Corley or Harris ever were. Those guys were after paydays. Harris was so shot its painful, and lets be honest anyone who loses to Carlos Maussa isn't that good to begin with.

Witter has never fought anyone as good as Kostya Tsyzu, Floyd Mayweather, Ben Tackie, Eamonn Magee or Vince Philips. Eamonn Magee would've slapped the **** out of Junior Witter back in the day. Oh I forget, he "fought" Zab Judah. I use speech marks coz there really wasn't much fighting going on, to call it a fight is an insult to boxing.

Witter only looks impressive when he's fighting bums. When he comes up against quality he fights within himself. 2 or 3 years ago he might've given Hatton a decent fight, but it would've been no more impressive for Hatton on his resume than Eamonn Magee or Vince Phillips and a step in the wrong direction.

Absolutely NO-ONE at 140lbs or lower stands a chance with Hatton. He demolishes Malinaggi, who I thought might've given Hatton problems with his quick jab and handspeed til his recent fight, he is far too physically strong for Ricardo Torres or Juan Diaz, he has too much energy and insane relentless aggression for a lazy fighter like Witter, same goes for Zab Judah. Manny Pacquaio is far too small for Hatton, and wouldn't be fast enough weighing 140lbs and wouldn't be able to take Hatton's power.

The ONLY people who beat Hatton are at 147lbs. Floyd Mayweather beat him but got made to work hard for his victory, something I have rarely seen in Mayweather's entire career. Infact I'm quite sure I heard Mayweather himself say that Ricky Hatton was his toughest fight.

Paul Williams and Oscar De La Hoya beat him coz they're too big. Antonio Margarito and Miguel Cotto are closer fights, Hatton may not be able to beat them both but he has the ability to give them both HELL make no mistake. And who else is there who could have him? Amir Khan?

 

39 year VP destroys Corley and Harris? The jury rests.

 

yeah, without doubt. Corley was a decent fighter, but never a world champion and was outclassed every time he stepped up to world championship level. Vince Philips was old, fair enough, but he was game as ****. He stood there with Hatton beating him senseless for 12 brutal rounds and never had any quit in him whatsoever.

I pick the Philips who fought Hatton over Demarcus Corley. A Prime Philips KO's him in under 6.

And please dont suggest that Vince Philips would've had any problem with the shell of Vivian Harris that Witter beat. Vince Phillips got beat by CARLOS MAUSSA. Y'know, the freak who can't box. Vince Phillips went in against a prime young Hatton and made a fight of it, Carlos Maussa got embarassed and nearly decapitated.

i know this vid is old but a witter and hatton fight must happen

 

Junior Witter "I will destroy you"

Ricky Hatton "based on what?"

Ricky be careful, he just knocked out Alan Temple!!!! (12-13, 4 by way of...)

 

A prime Phillips KO's Corley in 6. I can see that. But Hatton didn't fight a prime Phillips. He fought a 39-year-old SHOT version.

Hatton fought guys way past their prime or nobodies en route to his win against Tszyu, which in all honesty, reeked of home cooking based on Dave Parris's presence in the ring.

Yes, Hatton has fought the better comp, but he's been given the chance to fight Tszyu, Collazo, Castillo, PBF, etc.

Witter hasn't been given a chance in his prime to do that. Now that he's with Golden Boy, I have no doubt he'll get his shot. We will see. I just think this will be a fight that's good for boxing with the great fans the UK has.

 

Duran was not elite up at that weight, not because he was KO'd with one shot though, because he was generally bad.

 

My point is a SHOT version of Vince Phillips is on a par with Demarcus Corley, so when I hear these Witter nuthuggers talk up his victory over Corley, then simultaneously downplay Hatton's victory over Philips, its obvious they're talking ****. Vince Philips was a beast in his day, and was good enough to hang with Hatton at his merciless best. Watching that fight I dont think Corley would've lasted the distance.

A shot Vince Philips is about as hard a test as Corley was for Junior Witter. So when people say things like "Hatton has fought bums" yeah well those BUMS are as good as the very best people on Witter's resume.

Against Colin Lynes, Alan Temple, Alan Bosworth, Lucky Sambo and Oscar Hall Junior Witter looks awesome. But against Corley, he gave away rounds and was boring as hell. Against N'Dou he dominated the first half of the fight then went to sleep in the second half. Against judah he didn't even bother fighting at all. Against Harris he had him ready to go after the 4th, but kept letting him back into the fight. This is NOT what a world class boxer does.

When Ricky Hatton beat Ben Tackie, who was much better than ANYONE Junior Witter has faced, he beat him for every second of every round, mercilessly and brutally. When he beat Phillips he did the same. When he beat Stewart it was painful to watch. When he fought Tszyu he won coz he was was relentless, aggressive and insanely determined. When did Witter ever display those sort of qualities in his entire career? He's either a) outclassed journeymen and knocked them out or b) fought sloppily against fringe world class opponents. He didn't dominate Lovermore N'Dou. Ricky Hatton would've KILLED Lovermore N'Dou.

Junior Witter is a good fighter, and he is top 5 in the division. But thats only coz the best guys in the division have ****ed off to welterweight. Ricky Hatton would smash him to pieces and anyone who knows boxing ought to know that. Its only coz Hatton got beat and its flavour of the month to hate on him that people are saying something so ridiculous.

 

Graham said: "I don't know where the rumours about Ricky ditching me came from and he is adamant they are nonsense, but he did ditch Frank Warren.

and took it to the bank baby. :yep :happy :bbb :deal

 

yep.

i've always thought witter gives hatton a good fight as it goes. mainly cos of that awkward arse style of his. :yep i don't think he has enuff to beat hatton though.

hatton will be back winning next year.

mayweather was a step too far.

but he was also a step too far for fighters as good as de la hoya, corrales, castillo, judah etc. :yep

 

are you joking with all that stuff about Phillips, Corley, Harris etc?
not to mention some of the other stuff.

 

You`d get a better response from a tin of beans

 

I stick by every word of it. Vince Phillips was old and past his best when he fought Hatton, but Corley and Harris were hardly prime, and Philips is a MUCH more talented fighter than those two ever were. Corley is pretty good to be honest he's a solid fringe world-class fighter, infact he's a much more consistent performer than Harris, but he was never a huge threat.

Lets face it, Ricky Hatton is LEAGUES better than Junior Witter. He's in another class entirely and always was. Scurla if they every fight I cant wait to see you eat your words over this.
